Intrastat (Intra-EU Trade Statistics) is the special data system for collecting statistics on the trade in goods between the Member States of the European Union (EU). The Intrastat system became operational in 1993 with the creation of the EU Common Market when the customs checks on the EU internal borders disappeared. This meant that the production of foreign trade statistics using the data from customs declarations was no longer possible. Consequently, it became necessary to collect the data directly from economic units engaging in foreign trade.

As of October 2023, Statistics Estonia deploys a more powerful RDP* research work environment. This allows researchers to work with all datasets over VPN, including those datasets that were previously only available on a secure workstation at Statistics Estonia.
The guide below sets out everything you need to know to log into the RDP environment, as well as all the rules and requirements for using the environment. The specifics of using Windows and macOS are highlighted separately where relevant.
